Setting up a discord.py 2 discord bot from scratch in python

In this video we setup our python environment for the discord.py 2 course.
We use virtualenv to keep our project need, and python-dotenv to load environment variables from a .env file.
We also configure discord.py to start our first bot.

Thank you for your videos! I was trying to figure out how to read the API docs and watch a video of someone doing it but everyone uses Client instead of bot. I really appreciate it!

[@OakWoodZEdits]

im from 2024 and gosh when i see the 1 year ago and it says 2023 i started to cry

[@FallingAsleep_12]

cry ? why ?

[@FallingAsleepCoder]

@@FallingAsleep_12 hi

[@pauldong4425]

What are the benefits of going through the steps of putting token in .env file and then using github etc compared to simply copying the token into the bot.run() command?

[@SkengMeers]

people may see your token if its in the normal file but using a env is more safe

[@WerDasLiestStinktSoWieBruno]

if you plan on making your code public, you need to hide your bot token. if you keep the code private and only host the bot for yourself, you can just copy the token into bot.run()

[@Schnipps]

So, you did the git commit AFTER you made the main.py. But in the video, you made main.py AFTER you did git commit. Can you update these to be actually in order? Cause NONE of my stuff works following your video

[@Notscentre]

i made a fully new vsc workspace js for dis series and nothing works in this video (like it doesnt even show me the venv version of python when selecting a new terminal)

[@ItzClinky]

WHAT DO IT DO? pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[@swasikamel]

Hey, I had the same problem. Just try pip3 instead of pip, that should fix it.

[@makszab285]

u installed python incorrectly

[@jeelkatua]

if you use mac than try pip3 and if you have window and this problem is remains than uninstall your python folder and reinstall it, because your pip folder was delet therefore you dhow that problem when i deleted my pip folder i show that problem😅

[@fiv5792]

for some reason i cant install the virtualenv

[@Sythdox]

same

[@novax1_]

BRO SAME

[@Akhildesignsbuddy]

you can use replit secret key though if i understand your concern correctly

[@korupt5686]

python3 -m virtualenv venv

[@mapiatto]

It worked for me with the command python -m venv ./.venv

[@aabbcc7532]

"pip install discord" and "pip install discord.py" work but "pip install discord.py[voice]" does not

[@Schnipps]

git doesn't work

[@el_ciprix]

Beautiful man❤

[@Rosiesrosee]

Guys this tutorials qon't work cause they're almost 2 years old (in 2024) python changes over time

[@phamhoangthong4815]

Hello can i ask. I try to make a discord bot for me and my friends to play dnd but the bot only rresponse to me but not my friends. Do i need to add something?

[@NahhDontTryToFindMe]

when doing pip install it dosnt work? Pls help man

[@onepiecenetwork1781]

you probably dont have python installed properly

[@WerDasLiestStinktSoWieBruno]

reinstall python and include pip

[@BestEli]

git commit doesnt work for me

[@DINOxANAS]

Same and i think just because of git commin i am not able to start my bot to test it says type error: 'module' object is not callable

[@WerDasLiestStinktSoWieBruno]

@@DINOxANAS that has nothing to do with git. git is a platform to save your code. it is entirely optional

[@bij_ay]

This maybe good but idk why u r making simple steps a complex
